• 40 ® Scope of Work Page 5 processed, rectified nearshore aerial as an overlay schematic for DEP review and approval. As with the Protected Species Protection Plan, the Pipeline Access Corridor Plan shall be prepared for Sectors 1 and 2, and is dependent upon the respective borrow areas that are designated to serve the Project. Task 1.A.8 Project Mitigation Plan for Sectors 1 and 2 Subsequent to final determination of anticipated nearshore hardbottom impacts and appropriate mitigative measures deemed mutually acceptable to the DEP and the County, a mitigation plan will be prepared by the County. The plan shall detail the respective means of mitigation (e.g., spoil island restoration, restoration of upland dune vegetation habitats, exotic vegetation removal, nearshore artificial reef construction). For nearshore artificial reef construction, the location of potential sites, material sources, costs and timeframe of availability for acquisition and transportation to the construction site, depths or approximate range of depths for material placement, geometric configuration (volumetric yield) of reef components, and the anticipated project construction methods, costs, and schedule to build each mitigation site. The Florida Department of Transportation is one potential source provider of clean concrete pile caps, decking, culverts, pipes, etc. (associated with demolition or replacement of existing transportation infrastructure) that may be available for use. The County will investigate and prepare plan components associated with spoil island restoration, upland dune revegetation, and exotic vegetation removal. The draft plan will be submitted to DEP for review and comment, and will be finalized and resubmitted to the DEP following comment incorporation. ATM will provide consultation and document review/oversight only in association with this task, and will not be preparing the text or the submittals. The County will prepare and transmit the draft and final plans to the DEP. Task 1.A.9 Biological and Physical Monitoring Plans for Sectors 1 & 2 ATM will coordinate and conduct one meeting with the County and the DEP to discuss desired components of the Sectors 1 and 2 biological and physical monitoring plans. Following the meeting, ATM will prepare and transmit draft Physical Monitoring Plans for Sectors 1 & 2 to the County for review and comment. The County shall prepare biological monitoring plans for the project area. Following County comment incorporation, the documents will be forwarded to the Department for similar review and comment. It is anticipated that the final documents will be prepared and accepted by all parties following ATM incorporation of the DEP's comments and subsequent transmittal to the DEP. The Biological Monitoring Plan will propose photoquadrat series at six months, immediately prior, immediately following, and six months, one year and two years post - construction of the Sectors 1 and 2 restoration project at the stations established in summer 1999. Stations for the photoquadrats will be established based on the accepted design equilibrium toe of fill. The Plan will further propose a limited series of benthic grab samples and subsequent identification/enumeration. CAWNDOWSUEMPIRC Sectary 1 2 7 AWrtlanet Servcey 01.19-00 dodl 22101
